“How does my faith encouraging me to be a better person lead me “astray from the grace of God and from salvation?” If I have faith in Christ, who cares if I choose to do good works? How do my good works disqualify me from grace?”

False doctrine about God, about Christ, about the true
gospel of grace that changes all three - if you believe it
and rely on it - will substitute for the truth. Your faith
in mormonism, if it encourages you to be a better person,
is irrelevant, when it comes to salvation.

If you promote those heresies and lead others into them,
you will be judged by a stricter standard, according to
scripture.

best,
ampu

I’m not trying to be argumentative here; I’m really trying to understand.

If I’m reading your comments correctly, all a person needs to be saved is the knowledge of the true doctrine. No action is required on their part but to receive this knowledge and accept it. They are not required to -do- anything else.

Is this an accurate description?
